Gecic Law is a leading commercial law firm committed to redefining the role that a law firm plays in an emerging regional market to produce truly exceptional results for our clients. The firm assists international and local clients from many industries in establishing, building, and maintaining their business presence in the region and navigating the complex legal landscape shaped by the interplay between the existing local legal framework, European law & EU accession negotiations.
Gecic Law has a particularly strong presence in the Montenegrin jurisdiction, covered in the firm’s wide-ranging practice spanning the entire Western Balkans region. The practice provides full legal advice and representation before the courts and national authorities of Montenegro, based on the 2010 Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty between Serbia and Montenegro. The firm has extensive experience in providing comprehensive legal assistance in major Montenegrin investment projects (ranging from due diligence, acquisition of shares, debt-to-equity swaps in a joint-stock company to concessions) and regulatory work, such as obtaining licenses, settling labor issues and similar. As a testimony to Gecic Law’s unmatched local capacity and longstanding, transparent relations with regulators and key government stakeholders in Montenegro, the firm is an exclusive member of EuroNavigator, the most influential Western Balkans lobbying and public affairs outfit, headquartered in Brussels. In addition, Gecic Law provides specialized service to clients interested in obtaining Montenegrin citizenship through investments
The firm’s expertise, commitment, experience, and highest professional standards are widely recognized: from 2017, our firm has continuously been receiving the coveted “Top Tier” status year after year from elite global directories and was the youngest law firm in Serbia to achieve a Tier 1 ranking in competition law, where we have a long-established practice.
